Gifts

The Black Spiral Dancers have an obligation to promote the Wyrm’s work upon the Earth, but they vary on this, the first and foremost tenet of their Litany. The Princes of Ruin maintain that they have discharged their duty under this edict already, and that the war for the Apocalypse is over. The Wyrm won. They believe they serve the Wyrm simply by being the monsters they are meant to be.

A majority of Spirals holds a more active interpreta­ tion of this tenet, however, believing that in return for the Gifts and other spiritual power the Wyrm’s servants grant them, they owe the Dark Father some degree of worship and obedience. Belief of how much they owe the Wyrm varies among such Spirals. Some Spirals simply attend Hive moots and partake of tribal rituals, devoting most of their time and effort to their own desires. Others are full-blown fanatics, glorying in their role as the earthly avatars of the spiritual embodiment of ultimate destruction.
